The most common diagnosis was schwannoma (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 15, 71.42%), followed by neurofibroma (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 4, 19.04%). The average surgery duration was 104 min (85\u2013135 min), and the mean blood loss was 120 ml (25 ml\u2013250 ml). The average lesion size was 4.8 cm (2 cm\u20137 cm). Conversion to open procedure was required in one patient. Two patients (14.2%) developed complications. One patient developed Horner's Syndrome and the other developed post-operative lung atelectasis. The median follow-up was 36 months (6\u201390 months). No recurrence was observed during the follow-up period.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
